It's not. The CS-2 they claim can do 23kW peak. The voltage is very low. If 23kW and 20kA is right, it's a 1.15V core voltage, which is pretty normal these days

For comparison, one of the workstation AMD EPYC processors uses ~400W under peak load, and would use approximately ~320A peak current. It's only ~30x more current... modern CPUs use an enormous amount of current these days.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoThey mention that the CS-2 runs at very low, efficient clocks compared to a CPU or GPU. So yeah, the voltage should be quite low.
- pclmulqdq 3y ago1.15V is quite high for the core voltage of a modern efficiency-focused CPU. A lot of them are around 0.7-0.9V by comparison.
- Kirby64 3y ago1.15V isn't that high. Most CPUs may idle at ~0.9V but when running full power, they throttle up much higher. Overclocking the modern Ryzen 7000 series seems to top out at ~1.2V. If this giant wafer isn't on the absolute latest process, that voltage is going to go up. So, 1.15V seems very reasonable to me.
